…and sometimes, the public proposal goes very very wrong.

I would have freaked (and not in a good way) over a public proposal. Granted, I wouldn’t have minded more effort than simply dropping to his knee in our bedroom with both of us in our pajamas, but oh well. He has since learned how to make an appropriate fuss, with no overtly public surprises, but still something I can gush about later.

My sister was dating the widowed fire chief for two years when he showed up with the ladder truck. He went up the ladder to her fifth-floor apartment window with a dozen roses and a ring (in front of all his firemen buddies, of course) and proposed.

She said, “I need to think about it.”

Which, as we all know, is code for “No.”

He is now married to someone who, unlike my sister, shares his “let’s not discipline my boy because his mother is dead” approach to child rearing.

Dammit, Twistie! I wasn’t expecting to be sitting on the couch, bawling, on a Saturday afternoon. That second video was just amazing. I didn’t think that I could love Scrubs more than I already do. Just…awwwwwwwwww. Loveit!

Also, my hubby proposed to me in our favorite restaurant, a place which means a lot to us, and it was just the two of us. It was absolutely perfect and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I’m generally not a fan of big, public proposals…but there’s clearly an exception to be made for the one above.
